Two Point Perspective

Although demonstrated in Adobe, this illustration of two point perspective is very well done and points out some of the common pitfalls in drawing and painting architecture and how to overcome them.

On Drawing: Milton Glaser

MILTON GLASER DRAWS & LECTURES from C. Coy on Vimeo.

Glaser, in this short video, makes some compelling statements about drawing. One of which resonates not only with the act of drawing, but the act of writing. I think there really is a mind-body synergy, and that synergy played out with the motion of the hand differs from the clicking of the keyboard--perhaps emanating from a different part of the brain.

Glaser has a new book, entitled, "Drawing is Thinking" which he refers to in the video.
